Chapter 115: Challenging the Rules

Guan Liyuan had just stepped into the spatial passage opened by Hupa, and immediately heard a buzzing sound: "Appear...... Challenger...... Challenger please...... Abide by the rules of the challenge......"

"What?" Guan Liyuan instinctively asked.

Later, it was found that the surrounding four sculptures were fading their gray "shells" little by little, revealing blue-blue clay enamel.

Or rather...... The four "clay puppet giants" are breaking free from the gray stones formed by their long sleep and reawakening.

At the same time, among the four corners of the altar, the four swaying "badges" also attracted Guan Liyuan's attention - they were the "Solid Shield Sword Monster"!

The eight Pokémon around are not of low level, but for the time being, they don't show much hostility......

"Please challenger, abide by the rules of the challenge, otherwise you will be considered an 'intruder'!"

When the voice reappeared, Guan Liyuan discovered the source of the sound - it was not a Pokémon, but four "clay puppet giants" who formed a voice capable of emitting human language through some kind of resonance technique.

"Wait...... At least what are the rules first?" Guan Liyuan felt as if they had a posture to make a move.

"First of all, please go down from the challenge platform. ”

The four clay puppet giants also hesitated...... In fact, the way Guan Liyuan came in was already against the rules of the challenge, but although they belong to a special type of Pokémon, they are Pokémon and not machines after all, so they are not so rigid.

Now the state of the ruins is obviously wrong, so Guan Liyuan can come in in in a "violated" way, and the ruins themselves are destroyed by geological changes, and Guan Liyuan has nothing to do with them......

When Guan Liyuan heard this, he dragged the golden ring and walked down from the "challenge platform".

And Xiao Hupa outside also felt that Guan Liyuan was moving the golden ring, and at the same time, he was also cooperating with him to adjust the position of the exit, otherwise this thing would not be able to "drag".

Seeing that the hostility of the eight Pokémon had disappeared, Guan Liyuan reached out from the golden ring and motioned for Esther and Salina to come in.

"It's ...... Mud Golem and Shield Swordman, are they the guardians of the ruins?" Esther recognized both Pokémon as well.

The Mud Puppet Giant and the Shield Sword Monster are both more common types of Pokémon that are guarded by the ruins, especially the Shield Sword Monster, which can often be seen in the ruins unearthed in the Kalos region.

When he heard Soul Hook Eye say that he had felt the breath of a ghost-based Pokémon, Guan Liyuan suspected that it was "this kind" Pokémon......

These two kinds of Pokémon belong to Pokémon, a very special category, and the same as the "telekinetic clay puppet" and the like, the clay puppet giant and the shield sword monster are all Pokémon "created" by humans!

There are different theories about the origin of Pokémon in the world, such as the very marketable "extraterrestrial visitor hypothesis" is one of them, but here it should refer to "the vast majority of Pokémon", and there are some specific types of Pokémon, and the origin of the birth is very clear.

For example, the original telekinesis clay puppets are Pokémon that were transformed into human clay creations 20,000 years ago for some reason, of course, the current telekinetic clay puppets are the result of reproduction, not the original telekinetic clay dolls, after their ancestors metamorphosed into real Pokémon, they can use clay to "reproduce" offspring.

And the ancestors of the clay puppet giant and the shield sword monster were born for similar reasons!

The former is believed to be the creation of the ancient Phantom Science Civilization, while the Shield Sword Monster is a sword used by the "Giant Man" and transformed into a Pokémon......

The so-called "giant man" refers to a group of special ancient humans who lived in the Kalos area in ancient times with a height of about three meters, so the "sword body" part of the strong shield sword monster is also about one meter seven.

Many of the ruins unearthed in the Carlos area are giant-body civilizations, and there are no pure giants now, but the average height of the Carlos people is indeed the first in the world, a few centimeters taller than people in other places.

Moreover, among the ruins, the Shield Sword Monster, as well as the unevolved single scabbard and double scabbard are more common.

For example, there are four shield sword monsters that are the final evolution of a "challenge platform" here, which is a very large-scale ruin!

Most of these Pokémon, which originated from human creations and then bred and born, are loyal to their duties and have a long lifespan—or the ability to postpone their existence by hibernating.

In addition to the divine beasts and some special individuals, only this kind of Pokémon that can be dormant can withstand a long time, otherwise even the ghost system would have turned to ashes long ago, and even the "long-lived" nine-tails only have a lifespan of a few hundred years.

The birth of artificial Pokémon not only happened in ancient times, but also created Pokémon by modern technology - twenty years ago, the Silver Group, relying on electronic data programming technology, created the "Polymon", which is currently recognized as the latest new breed of artificial Pokémon.

However, there seems to have been an accident that caused all major groups to lose interest in artificial Pokémon......

It wasn't until Team Rocket obtained some of Silver's research data and "created" Mewtwo!

However, Mewtwo is no longer an ordinary Pokémon, nine times out of ten it cannot be reproduced, and Mewtwo's existence is beyond the control of Team Rocket.

"It looks like this ruin is not only large, but also very high-spec. Esther said as she looked at the four clay puppet giants and the four shield sword monsters.

"Challenger, please choose the difficulty of the challenge. The four clay puppet giants spoke in resonance.

Obviously, this relic is a gift left by ancient civilization to future generations, not a cemetery, a forbidden place, so there are rules for challenge, this is not an "altar" but a "challenge platform", these clay puppet giants, shield sword monsters are not simply to block outsiders from entering.

"Huh, the difficulty of the challenge can be chosen......? Is there a difference between easy and difficult rewards?" asked Guan Liyuan.

"In the four basic levels, through any difficulty, you can take the corresponding Super Stone and Keystone, and all of them can clear the non-difficult difficulty, and you can open two hidden rewards. The clay puppet giant said.

"Is there a hidden reward for non-difficulty?, are the other options 'more difficult' and 'very difficult' and 'super difficult'?"

"Three difficulty options, easy, normal, and hard. The clay puppet giant said.

Guan Liyuan is even more incomprehensible - the easier the difficulty, the more hidden rewards can be obtained?

Before Guan Liyuan could answer, the four clay puppet giants looked at each other, as if they were exchanging something, and the four shield sword monsters also participated in the discussion......

After reaching an agreement, he continued to resonate and said: "I found that there are two basic levels that have been invalidated, and the rules are changed...... On 'Easy' or 'Average' difficulty, you can earn hidden rewards by beating two basic levels. ”

Guan Liyuan estimated that the two places that were damaged were the places where the Soul Hook Eye picked up the two super stones...... This means that there are at least two other superstones here, in the two corners of the interior.

At this time, Guan Liyuan can also see that the inside of the pyramid is a completely hollow structure, two of the four corners have collapsed, and the other two are 100-meter-square platforms, and some traces of bridges can be seen between the platforms, but now only traces can be seen - the bridge body has all collapsed.

In addition, along the inside, there are climbing stairs that lead to the top...... And below!

At present, this ruin is not pyramid-shaped, and there is an inverted pyramid-shaped part buried underneath, Guan Liyuan estimates that if the four challenge platforms are at the four corners, the two hidden rewards are likely to be the "tips" above and below.

"Then I choose easy!" Guan Liyuan has no masochistic habits, since the easy difficulty has more rewards, why choose the more difficult one?

"The challenger chooses the easy difficulty - please release the 'Rogue Crocodile' to check the intimacy and potential, and if you pass the test, you can get the Rogue Crocodile Super Stone and Key Stone. ”

"Hah, rogue crocodile, I didn't!" Guan Liyuan was dumbfounded.

The initial form of the rogue crocodile before the evolution of the black-eyed crocodile, there are some in the first house of the world, but they are only "cultivated" to improve the potential, and there is no training to evolve, the first house of the world is mainly a cultivation business, only some special Pokémon have training......

"Challengers who don't meet the 'easy' difficulty requirements will give up the challenge and have two chances to try again. The clay puppet giant said.

Guan Liyuan: "......"
